The Challenge
Tutorial completion rates were actually strong among the people who did watch, but a small starting audience meant videos rarely got enough early engagement to be shown beyond that initial small group. Growth had plateaued for months.
The Approach
A views boost on tutorials with the clearest step-by-step payoff moment gave the algorithm a stronger signal to test those videos further, and several began reaching well past the initial push. New followers converted into repeat tutorial watchers.
Services Used
“The exact same tutorial format that had been stuck for months suddenly started reaching six figures in views once it got past that early wall.”
